E: Yes all masses accelerate at the same speed when there is no air resistance although when there is the
heavier object will accelerate faster.
F: This is actually a very important part of Wings vs Wheels in my opinion, the reason that is, is because this
gave us the ability to analyse data understand concepts and equation. As well as give us the skills to in the
future figure out how to take motion,displacement, and velocity data. This has also showed us how to use
another program to add into our long portfolio of skills. This also shows us how to use graphs and improve on
that skill for science and math.

Conclusion:
The Relationships that were investigated were Distance Versus Time and Velocity Versus Time.
There were three experiments Free Fall with a tennis ball, Constant with walking and acceleration with a
push pull car. According to the data Both the push pull car and the tennis ball experiments where both
exponential functions, and the walking experiment was a linear function with a constant speed no
acceleration or deceleration. The data plots for each experiment had a scatter plot line each proving the
evidence show above. In conclusion The free fall lab and push pull car lab accelerated at a constant rate with
a exponential function while walking was a linear function with a constant speed neither accelerating or
decelerating.
